New TestamentMatthewThe Parable of the Weeds Explained · 13:36–4313:36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.13:37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;13:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;13:42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.13:43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
